I didn't read any of it as a flame -- more like a scream of agony.
I read "this thing sucks, you need to be a systems engineer to be able
to use it". Sounds like a flame to me. But no matter.

The trouble with Debian is that is is an old distro, and some of its
documentation has become seriously out-of-date. If there was some way
of maintaining the documentation along with the code, that would be
great!
I second that. The docs on the site are somewhat out of date. The
stuff in /usr/share/doc is usually up to date though, so is the
install guide.
